We recently enjoyed a private tour from Auckland that included the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, a Kiwi Bird encounter, and high tea at the Zealong Tea Estate. Each destination was captivating, but it was our guide, Warren, who truly made the day exceptional. Warren's blend of humor, knowledge, and warmth transformed our journey into an unforgettable experience. His insightful commentary and engaging stories enriched our understanding and kept us entertained throughout. The itinerary was perfectly paced: starting with the mesmerizing glowworms, followed by an intimate encounter with New Zealand's iconic kiwi birds, and culminating in a serene high tea amidst the lush surroundings of Zealong. Warren's dedication and passion didn't go unnoticed. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. It's rare to encounter someone who so clearly loves what they do, and it made all the difference. If there's any justice, Warren deserves a raise for his outstanding service! Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of New Zealand with a top-notch guide

We had an amazing private tour from Auckland that included the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, the Kiwi Bird experience, and high tea at Zealong Tea Estate — and every part of it was incredible! Our driver and guide, Warren, truly made the day extra special. He was wonderful — funny, engaging, and full of knowledge about the areas we visited. His commentary added so much to the journey, and we really appreciated his great sense of humor and insight. He definitely deserves a raise! The itinerary was perfectly planned: we visited the Glowworm Caves first, which were absolutely magical. Next was the Kiwi Bird experience — a rare chance to see these iconic creatures up close. We ended the day with a relaxing high tea at Zealong Tea Estate, which was not only delicious but also set in such a beautiful location. This tour was seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Highly recommended — and if you can, ask for Warren!
